摘要

寄生性錐蟲(Trypanosomatids)會寄生於多種動物、植物及無脊椎動物，特別是昆蟲;其中某些種類會引起動物或植物的疾病，其傳播的媒介也是昆蟲。本研究主要針對半翅目的昆蟲進行檢查，希望能了解台灣半翅目昆蟲受到寄生性錐蟲感染的情況。從1994年1月到1996年9月共採到9科585隻半翅目昆蟲，發現共有138隻昆蟲受到錐蟲類鞭毛蟲的感染，總感染率為23.6%，在18種受檢昆蟲中有12種為陽性。受感染最多的是大星椿象科(Largidae)，感染率為46.2%，其次依序為長椿象科(Lygaeidae)感染率42.5%，椿象科(Pentatomidae)39.4%，盾椿象科(Scutelleridae)23.9%，蛛緣椿象科(Alydidae)18.2%，星椿象科(Pyrrhocoridae)16%，及緣椿象科(Coreidae)的感染率8.4%。而擬刺椿象科(Nabidae)及刺椿象科(Reduviidae)則未發現有任何錐蟲的寄生。寄生性錐蟲的形態，則以前鞭毛蟲型(promastigote form)出現最多。

Trypanosomatids are parasites of vertebrates, plants, and invertebrates, especially insects. Some of them can cause diseases in their hosts. We microscopically examined 585 Hemiptera insects belonging to 18 species of 9 families from January 1994 to September 1996. Among the 585 insects examined, we foung that 138 were infected with a total infection rate of 23.9%. Among these, insects of Largidae had the highest infection rate at 46.2%. The insects of Lygaeidae, Pentatomidae, Scutelleridae, Alydidae, Pyrrhocoridae, and Coreidae had infection rates of 42.5%, 39.4%, 23.9%, 18.2%, 16%, and 8.4%, respectively. However, no insects of Nabidae and Reduviidae examined were infected. The predominant parasitic form found in the insects examined was the promastigote form.
